Just like to preface that I’m a newbie when it comes to this sort of stuff so bear with me please. My current setup is a GridEYE with a RedBoard Qwiic and a Cthulhu Shield. All was working great, the examples included were running fine, when suddenly (upon restarting the system one day) the GridEYE appeared unresponsive. I believe the Qwiic board and the Cthulhu Shield are fine because when running an example that doesn’t involve the GridEYE everything continues to work normally. I checked my ports, uninstalled and installed all drivers, swapped out different Qwiic connector cables, redid all the installation instructions, and even tried different microusb cables, but whenever running one of the Cthulhu “heat cam” examples I keep getting errors such as:

This report would have more information with
“Show verbose output during compilation”
option enabled in File → Preferences.
Is there a way for me to check if its a hardware issue as opposed to a software issue? Thanks in advance!
